This is a typically good Garden Inn. Nice rooms, helpful staff. Food is good, but the breakfast is not complimentary. The only negative is the morning sun glaring into the breakfast area without adequate window coverings to block the sun. It makes it a bit uncomfortable to need sun glasses to be able to see your food at breakfast.

As a diamond member, I stay at a lot of hiltons, but they really made me feel special at this one. Making sure my needs were met, sending up a nut and cheese platter, very nice staff. Rooms were clean and pretty standard. My only complaint was that the price seems quite high, I think I paid $180, for a... More

I kind of hesitate to write this recommendation because I don't want to see this gem getting too full. But I think the staff deserves it. I have been going there consistently for a few years and I want to compliment the hotel on its consistency. The rooms consistently clean. The staff consistently well trained and courteous. Cookies ready when... More

Very nice hotel. My only complaint was the TV. I had been driving all day and wanted to veg for an hour or two in front of the TV. While the TV was a flat panel HD, it was old and not great. There was not a single HD channel and many of the channels had a sign saying the... More

Hilton Garden Inn properties typically equate to nice hotel stays. But this property was by far a cut above typical. Although the entry, lobby and eating areas were basic HGI footprint, their indoor swimming pool/whirlpool area was more spacious and brighter than usual. They had a functional Fitness Center, but there was also a large Convention/Banquet Facility with numerous meeting... More

Clean and nice. Was there for their New Years Eve Blues event. A bit pricey, but considering it was a special event, we appreciated the fact we didn't have to go anywhere afterwards but upstairs to our room.

I'm originally from Urbandale and so I have to go back now and then to visit family. The Hilton has become the hotel of choice for me and my boyfriend when we come to the area. I like the location - when we get off the highway it's right there, and despite being near I80, it's quite tranquil. It's a... More

Husband and I stayed here during a three-day conference in October. Hotel staff was mostly friendly, except for one front desk person who seemed aloof and uninterested. The room was quite large, as was the bathroom. Our room had a little "kitchen" area, with a sink, little refrigerator, and microwave. The desk setup was nice, with access to plug-ins for... More

We stayed here for one night while passing through the area. The room was very nice (though the sink was very clogged!), quiet and comfortable. The exercise room was very good - fresh towels, purified water, and some of the same exercise machines as our gym at home. We didn't swim in the indoor pool, but it looked well maintained.... More
